Bad controller
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I hate this controller. The feeling is not as good as that of the official one. The cable is unnecessarily long; it is 10 feet! I would not recommend this

I would recommend this to a friend Own 4 would buy again
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These controllers work. Make's hooking up the switch to your TV and a group of people huddles around playing a lot more fun. Would recommend these controllers. They are very light, feels a little cheap, but I own four so that's saying something.
I would recommend this to a friend- Cons mentioned:Stick drift
Stick Drift
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my 2nd Power A controller for the Switch. First one suffered left-stick drift after about one-year. This one suffered right-stick drift 3 months after purchase. The drift gets progressively worse until it's unplayable. It's too bad, because like other reviews, this controller really feels great (when it works) - and the mappable buttons are awesome.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend - Cons mentioned:Size
OK for an extra controller
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Decent extra controller, wouldn't use it as my daily driver though. Was a bit of pain to get paired but now it works fine. Quality matches the price point, I much prefer the size and build quality of the Nintendo Pro controller.

As pleased with product as I thought we would be!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After much research on what controller he wanted, while he isn't a huge Pokémon OR Pikachu fan he really dug the graffiti! That was the main reason he chose that very controller. He has been happy since the purchase and used the controller everyday since.
I would recommend this to a friendBetter Docked Experience
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Controller has better weight than the battery powered and wired controllers, also buttons, Dpad, and joystick feel really good. Great pickup if you play docked frequently.

Don’t waste your money
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Have had this for a month and a half and 4 of those weeks I was out of town and did not use it. It already drifts right, and I bought it because my switch joycons drift left, lol. And the left control squeaks.... Save your money!

Battery doesn't last
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The battery stops holding a charge after a couple of months. This is the second PowerA controller to do that in a row. Up until battery issues, controller is great.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Quick action on super fast buttons. A true upgrade to go with the new OLED Nintendo Switch. A good purchase.
I would recommend this to a friend2 weeks in already drifting
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It was great until it started to drift after only having it for 2 weeks.

Great 3rd party controller. Comes with cable
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great 3rd party controller for the switch. Works on all games, comes with extremely long charging cable. Keep in mind that it comes with charging cable but not the charging brick.
I would recommend this to a friendNOT worth your money
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After 2 weeks the buttons started sticking, and it started to "creep", meaning there was movement when there should not have been. For $60 I'd kind of expect something more. Will not buy again.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend- Cons mentioned:Stick drift

Cheap for a reason
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not even a year and one of the joysticks has started glitching. This is my second PowerA controller and my last one. Stay far away from this brand.
